Claudia Wieser at The Drawing Center, New York, opening: Friday, Sept. 10, 6-8 pm

Posted on Wednesday September 08, 2010


Claudia Wieser: Poems of the Right Angle, on view in the Drawing Room, will be the first solo museum exhibition in North America of work by Berlin-based artist Claudia Wieser (b. 1973, Freilassing, Germany). The exhibition presents a site-specific installation of glazed ceramic tiles and prismatic mirrored facets against a background of geometrically-patterned wallpaper. In addition to the tile and mirror wall relief, Wieser will show a new series of colorful line drawings that play on the installation's optical and spatial illusions and serve to foreground her distinctive approach to abstraction. Together, the works mark the experiential and the intangible through precise geometries imbued with layers of spiritual, psychic, and phenomenal meaning that lead the viewer into contemplative spaces where the primacy of mark-making and viewing become fused.

Curated by Joanna Kleinberg, Assistant Curator at The Drawing Center.
